Public bug reported:

Dear maintainers,

Lacking of `Breaks` and `Replaces` parts in the Debian control file of
libdbusmenu-qt5-2 package (version 0.9.3+16.04.20160218-2) would make
dist-upgrading from Xenial (with libdbusmenu-qt5 installed) to Eoan or
Focal crash.

Expected behavior of dist-upgrading:
- should deconfigure `libdbusmenu-qt5` first
- only then can `libdbusmenu-qt5-2` be installed

What happened instead:
- dpkg unpacks `libdbusmenu-qt5-2` over files of `libdbusmenu-qt5`, thus 
causing a crash

Steps to reproduce:
1. install a fresh Ubuntu 16.04.6 and upgrade packages
2. change the release in apt source list from `xenial` to `eoan` or `focal` and 
include universe section
3. perform `apt dist-upgrade`

** Affects: libdbusmenu-qt (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
